  • IN CELEBRATION OF THE 55TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE GROUND-BREAKING HIT “I’M YOUR CAPTAIN (CLOSER TO HOME)” NEW ALBUM ‘CLOSER TO MY HOME’ OFFICIALLY RELEASES NOVEMBER 8TH EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH LEGENDARY GRAND FUNK RAILROAD CAPTAIN MARK FARNER Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho. “Closer to My Home” is the long-awaited, new album from legendary guitarist and singer/songwriter Mark Farner. Bridging past and present, the grit of industry and the calloused hard work of a rural man, “Closer to My Home” champions Farner’s multi-faceted artistry. Celebrating the 55th anniversary of the iconic hit “(I’m Your Captain) Closer to My Home” the album is highlighted with a re-record, finding Farner in exactly the same form as 1970. Mark says …“These songs are honest and from my heart,” “The collaboration with Jim (Peterik) and Mark (Slaughter) came from a place of trust and that makes the whole experience so much more rewarding as songwriters. The audience can feel that, and these songs reflect those very human moments that you can’t find creating a song from a computer.” PLEASE WELCOME LEGENDARY SINGER,SONGWRITER,GUITARIST,KEYBOARDIST, FORMER MEMBER OF GRAND FUNK RAIROAD AND CURRENT MEMBER OF MARK FARNER’S AMERICAN BAND… BROTHER MARK FARNER TO INTERVIEWING THE LEGENDS … PREORDER ‘CLOSER TO MY HOME’ BY MARK FARNER at https://markfarner.com/shop-2/ FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT MARK FARNER VISIT https://markfarner.com/ Mark Farner’s American Band Official website https://markfarner.com/farner-chords/ Farner Chords https://www.facebook.com/MarkFarnerAmericanBand/ Facebook https://www.instagram.com/markfarners_americanband/ Instagram https://music.apple.com/us/artist/mark-farner/2776173 Apple https://open.spotify.com/artist/6EIXFRkQvNMjdmgoBz2Gb7 Spotify https://www.amazon.com/music/player/artists/B000QJTLVO?isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true Ama https://www.pandora.com/artist/mark-farner/ARz6Xx3PxbPdj9czon Pandora MARK FARNER’S AMERICAN BAND Upcoming concerts Oct.24th 2024 Robins Theatre Warren, OH Dec.05th 2024 The Ridgefield Playhouse Ridgefield,CT March 15th-22nd 2025 70's Rock & Romance Cruise 2025 Fort Lauderdale, Fl MARK FARNER DISCOGRAPHY Studio albums Mark Farner, 1977 No Frills, 1978 Just Another Injustice, 1988 Wake Up..., 1989 Some Kind of Wonderful, 1991 For the People, 2006 Closer to Home (2024) Mark Farner’s American Band From Chile with Love Live DVD with Grand Funk Railroad On Time (1969) Grand Funk (1969) Closer to Home (1970) Live Album (1970) Survival (1971) E Pluribus Funk (1971) Phoenix (1972) We're an American Band (1973) Shinin' On (1974) All the Girls in the World Beware!!!
